“Decision level of the business organisation – A Case Study”

 

A typical hierarchical business will have three (3) broad levels of organizational decision-making from the top to the bottom.  Each organizational level exhibits different information requirements characteristics in terms of the decision timeframes, certainty, risk, responsiveness, information structure and application of technology.  These decision-making levels are characterized by information systems that are different in design and composition because of the level-specific goals of the information systems at each level of the hierarchy.  The decision-making levels are highly significant in terms of system thinking, since the purpose of processing data is to produce information for decision making.
